Just completed Showcase and I agree I'm enjoying the changes from game play to real footage. It was kind of weird doing the Firefly Funhouse Match and seeing blurred faces of Mr. T and Big John Studd, as is the same with a lot of blurred faces like Okerlund and Finkel. Overall, I really enjoyed it but feel they still could and should have had at least one match from every Mania. I get why he was omitted, but playing as Brock Lesnar is super fun and kind of wish they'd have excluded him from Showcase as well. It's weird you could play as him in a few matches, but not the Royal Rumble at the end.

They should include Bundy and SD Jones.  Instead we get Post Malone. Really though I hope they bring back the big blue cage for Hogan/Bundy.

Give me the gimmick battle royal from WrestleMania 17 with all the entrants and I’ll buy this game.

This, please. I loved playing as the Natural Disasters in whichever game they were in. Repo Man or Michael Hayes would be taking the title off Roman in Universe in no time. 

I do wish they'd go whole hog with the 40 Years of Wrestlemania idea though and include at least one match from every one. I get it would have some challenges, but would definitely be cool. Mostly, I'd love to see 2 feature the big blue cage and 9 as a way to get Goant Gonzalez in. Considering who's been in the games for years, all they'd need to add is Orndorff to have 1's main event. 9 has a unique feel arena which would be cool to have added. Yoko has been there for years so him and Bret can work. And if they're going to put a focus on different backstage brawls how fun would it be to have Raven/Kane/Show in there from X7? 

Just finished Spider Man 2 and yeah, that was ridiculously fun. Might go for the platinum even. Only one that seems annoying is flying across the map without swinging or zipping. Next though I'm debating on which to start Evil West or the newer Plague Tale? Plus was great this month. 

Just into the game and it's definitely fun. I just took a trip to New York earlier this month and I think it's cool to see how much attention to detail the game included such as Madison Square Garden and the hotel we stayed at across the street. 

Finished up Assassin's Creed Mirage and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Can't say it's a full fledged callback to the old AC style but I did enjoy having to bank on stealth more. I think it was a bit too bare bones considering how much the series had given us in the last few installments, but the story definitely was great. 

Assassin's Creed Mirage. It's a great blend of the original style games mixed with new era elements. It looks stunning as these games always do, and it's been a ton of fun to play thus far. 

Wrestlequest is ridiculously fun.

Finished Shadow of the Colossus Remaster. That's two for the year which is good for me...

Might finally start Last of Us now.

I want to finally part that this year as well, but just started God Of War Ragnarok after completing Maneater... which was fantastic! 

It's really fun to play as Zeus.

The whole idea of not yet anyway is one of my least favorite ideas of modern gaming. Of course I like that games can be fixed later, which if this were the N64 Era that couldn't happen, but I feel as if we some times use that to let a subpar product get a pass. If a game like God Of War or Even WWE 2k came out and sucked nobody would be letting them slide.

I actually do like the entrances being short, but seeing so many already do multiple playthroughs of the story mode makes me feel as if there's just not enough meat on the bone for me at least to justify the purchase. It's a bummer because there is market for more wrestling games. I think what we all actually want is a call back to All Stars not No Mercy.

I really did want to get this right away to support and also really to try a new wrestling game out, but the more I see and read, I'm holding off. I like the graphics, but while it looks more like No Mercy it appears to play more like SmackDown at that time. It just, doesn't look good to me. That clip of Wight/Silver looked incredibly awkward the entire match. They joked about Wight crouching every move, but it really looked bad and distracting. Who knows, maybe reviews will come in glowing and I'll give it a shot and love it but for now I'll just wait for WrestleQuest.

I gave up on creating my own wrestlers years ago. Way too complex for my time. 

They also fixed the patch in MyRise so I can continue the story!

Just came across a pretty tough glitch when playing throb MyRise. Apparently if you import a created wrestler for your MyRise as The Lock, there's a training match you have to do a running front grapple and unless you're using the default moveset it will never register you did the move. There goes 3-4 hours of game play for nothing.

In MyFaction, is it still mostly just 4v4 matches? That was perhaps my favourite mode last year, but I hated how everything was 4v4.

There's a lot of other match types than that. I think I've only done one faction at 4v4 the rest has been 1v1 or 2v2 really. 

I was stuck there too then realized I can just spam the dodge button to trigger it. 

The gameplay is REALLY good. Just played, and lost, my first War Games match. I really enjoy how hard the matches on Legend difficulty can be, perfect for the trophy challenges. The matches are just so epic. Beat Brock as Kofi, but can not beat Roman no matter who I try as. Bron Breakker is a blast to use! And playing through some Showcase, I'd forgotten about the Triple H/Cena match from Night of Champions which I thought was really good. Might have to rewatch that today. 

I really like My Faction, and I do like the Cena showcase but I really wish we could turn the music off during the matches. 

Thats a pretty cool and mixed bag if fun with the DLC packs.

Ghost Of Tsushima. Now not only complete, but I just couldn't stop and got the platinum.

Ocarina of Time. I was always a few years behind on gaming so by the time I got to this one, I remember feeling blown away by the open worldness of it. 

Uncharted for me later on because I'd taken a long break from gaming and skipped the PS2 console. I'd never seen anything like that.Just absolutely beautiful. I had also picked up whatever Madden and WWE game were out at the time and those were fun but Uncharted really felt special. 

At last finished Ghost Of Tsushima. What a game. Absolutely stunning, good story, and it was a good time length for a game. Debating on going for the platinum but probably won't as I've got too much of a backlog yet. Will at least play the DLC.

Just finished Act 2 in Ghost Of Tsushima and good lord I see why this game got so much love. I'm going to do my best to finish it this week and then go for God Of War Ragnarok, but I'll probably want to play something shorter first to break up the open world games. May be finally time to play Little Hope.
